I'm not gonna lie, once they're committed, I don't think Shep's gonna need a ton of excuses to get "attention" from Miranda. She doesn't strike me as the frigid type. If anything, shep might need to calm her down...

I think that once they find one another a great deal of things are going to happen.

Truly, I think that once they spend time together without the looming threat of the Reapers, they're going to do just great.

Sex is only part of the bonding process. There's a lot more to relationships than that.

Oh agreed.  In fact, the "romance scenes" are the least important part of the romances for me.  I prefer the interplay and character development.

I just think Miranda has a healthy attitude towards sex, and once she's found the right person for her, she won't have a problem keeping him happy.

Not required. But that doesn't mean it isn't appreciated ;)

Thanks :wizard:

Well, she does now. The thing is, is that sex serves a function if you're with someone you care about. Your brain produces all sorts of chemicals. If you don't care about them, the chemicals are not produced in the same quantity or at all.

What they really need to do is spend time together after being apart for so long. Talking, eating, drinking and when it comes to it, sex. In fact, it's been proven that simply sleeping next to your partner has health benefits.

I think they're going to be very happy together.

Miranda will be frigid to everyone but Shepard and Oriana, and to Shepard she'll still have her playful serious thing. But she's not going to be one to rehash the past, and she's going to have some lingering trust issues (by no fault of Shepard's). She'll be voracious in bed, but there won't be a lot of PDA. There will definitely be some intimate moments of confession to things that will have Miranda in tears while Shepard reassures her that he loves her unconditionally with everything he has. She'll also have a bit of a possesive streak too.

But Taboo is right, Shepard and Miranda will have a lot of issues to work out once they are reunited, though they are together a permanent fixture.

Yeah, they will. I think the headcanon for Mirishep(made that up, not sure if there's a real term) is even more wide open than for shepley (my norm), since Shepley will probably stay alliance, but mirishep can LITERALLY do anything they want. Like, the whole universe is open to them. There is not one useful talent in the universe that at least one of them hasn't mastered.

There's a ton of fun to be had with that head canon. Unless you didn't shoot the tube. Then shame on you!

see, this is one of the few times I disagree with Taboo (He's completely wrong about the film antichrist, it SUCKS)

I don't think they have that many issues.  I think Miri has a decent arc where during ME3 she's pretty committed and by the end (the find me scene) she's let go of all that.  I think the Horizon scene with her father was more cathartic than you all see it as, and that she's finally moved on from all that.  She has Shep and Orianna now, and she's going to be fine.  I literally think it's all sunshine and roses for them now.
Just IMO.

I don't really think they would have that many issues to work out post-ME3.

I could see them having a long and happy future together.

It's one of the reasons why Shepard's relationship with Miranda is built of solid stuff, compared to her previous and temporary relationships such as with Jacob. I reckon the reason that one fell apart is, while Jacob is an all around nice guy like Shepard, he's simply too passive-aggressive for Miri.

Shepard's the only guy who actually challenges Miranda and will tell flat-out tell her to her face that she's wrong, which you can tell at the beginning of ME2, that no-one has done for a long time. When Shepard makes up their mind, they don't back down and it usually ends up being the correct solution. That's probably a major part of what fuelled that intitial attraction.

She'll always have certain types of issues. You don't just get over abuse. Understand that some of us understand this from personal experience.

The issues won't be between them in the sense that I made it appear. What I mean was is that they can only get better for them. I'd imagine they'll be all over each other. But they'll still have hurdles, like all couples do. There's a big one involving her infertility. I think the majority of our Shepard would move mountains to help her in this ordeal, but that's a difficult thing to relate, even if you're close to someone.

But she has something she's never had before, a confidant. That alone probably means the world to her.

Over time, she'll get even better, and so will Shepard. A good relationship brings out the best in a person and tempers the bad. You've already seen a marked improvement from ME2 to ME3.

Can you imagine what six months together would do?

See, I don't think the abuse was as bad as you do (def not physical, more emotional), and I think she got a lot of catharsis from her time with cerberus and then saving her sis from him.

Cerberus didn't fix her issues. Shepard did. Had she never met him she wouldn't have changed as much. And Henry would probably have Oriana.

No amount of catharsis gets rid of abuse dude. It's always a part of you.

In the old script you had to choose between Liara and the VS at one point. One had to die.

What could have been. What could have been.


Easiest. Choice. Ever.

Mac Walters probably had it removed because he realized not everyone would save his waifu.

I had no idea that Leng was originally intended to kill Wrex. If that had happened, no way would I allow the Genophage to be cured under any circumstances, regardless of which Shepard I was playing.


How does Wrex get involved? Posted Image

Nope. Going solo in ME1 is perfectly fine for me.


This. It's not even an issue.

My Shepard can wait...two more years.


And 99% of those 2 years is spent dead, so it's more like waiting for a few minutes.


And the first person he sees is...


ITS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Until it sends him into a heart attack....Talk about love being painful...

Thomas Shepard's thought as he got spaced at the beginning of ME2: "****. Why did I decide to wait for Miranda? Now I'm dying a virgin."

Shepard is actually the first person to ever tell her that her validation comes from what she does with her talents, not how she was created.

It took thirty six years for that to happen. Not one person in her twenty years in Cerberus did that. Not one.

Cerberus definitely wasn't helping Miranda deal with her issues, she simply traded one overbearing and demanding father-figure for another.

Shepard was the first person in her life who had direct authority over her, but didn't ask for anything in return except her friendship.

In many ways, Miranda is very similar to Jack. You can see through the second game both are asking themselves what this guy's deal is and what does he want from them, waiting for the moment where he'll eventually decide to use them for his own advantage and betray them... which Shepard never does.

That moment of realisation for Miranda that she's actually looking at someone who truly cares about her, is something I doubt she's ever experienced before. More than likely, every overture of friendship with her has likely always had some caveat or price she's eventually had to pay for trusting someone, like with Niket.

In real life all you can do is hang you head and pray for forgiveness.

I would think that Miranda would be helping with physical therapy in the Destroy ending. Shepard has been hurt badly. He's going to need months of therapy to get back on top.


I'm assuming the inuendo was accidental...

That's exactly right.

Her relationship with Shepard has no strings attached to it, no back door surprises, no hooks. I can't imagine how much that means to her.

So you don't think morning exercises are a good way to help regain muscle tone? Shepard is going to need some attention to regain that.

TLC can do that, but so can legitimate physcial therapy.

Dude I'm serious. I'd imagine Shepard is going to need some help getting back on his feet. He's going to have broken ribs and bones and such.

I can't think of a more dedicated nurse than Miranda.
